For Clients:

  • Vaginismus is the tightening of vaginal muscles whenever something tries to enter the vagina (tampon, ultrasound wand, your partner, etc.).

    This tightening causes any kind of penetration/insertion to be extremely painful and sometimes impossible to achieve.

    Vaginismus is an automatic response from your body, but that's not the problem...

    The problem is most people think it's not something you can consciously control.

    But they are WRONG.

    You can absolutely control how your body responds!

    And with a little bit of support from our Vaginismus Therapy, you'll always be in control.

    Ready For Healing is the best and one of the only mental health therapy practices specializing in helping women quickly treat vaginismus in Maryland or the USA.

    EMDR Therapy allows your nervous system to release tension and promotes a more enjoyable and fulfilling intimate life


    Many women feel a mix of frustration, shame, isolation, and sadness because of it.

    It can affect your relationships, your confidence, and even your ability to access important medical care.

    We understand how deeply personal and challenging this can be.

    We want you to know that healing is possible, and you deserve to experience comfort and intimacy without fear.

Why EMDR Therapy May Be The Right Fit For You

At Ready for Healing, we understand the unique challenges women face when dealing with sexual health issues and past trauma.

We offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy, a powerful and evidence-based approach designed to help you process distressing memories and reclaim your well-being.

EMDR Therapy works by helping your brain reprocess traumatic or emotionally charged memories, greatly reducing their intensity and emotional impact.

This allows your nervous system to reach a state of calm, shifting your reactions to these memories from overwhelming to manageable.

For many women, past experiences like direct sexual trauma, difficult medical procedures, or even ingrained cultural messages can leave lasting imprints that show up as physical pain or intense anxiety around intimacy, relationships, and medical exams.

These "stuck" memories can lead to conditions like vaginismus (painful penetration), painful sex (dyspareunia), or a profound dread of routine OB/GYN exams.

EMDR Therapy is uniquely effective in addressing these deep connections between past experiences and present-day physical and emotional distress.

By directly targeting the unprocessed memories and associated bodily sensations and negative beliefs, EMDR helps your brain and body connect these experiences in a healthier way, paving the path to profound and lasting relief.

EMDR Therapy helps make healing faster, easier, and simpler than ever before.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements, physical tapping, or sound) to help the brain's natural healing process to "unstick" these memories.

Allowing them to be fully processed and integrated in a way that reduces their negative impact on your present life.

This doesn't erase the memory, but it removes its power to further hurt you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, extensive research and clinical experience have shown that virtual EMDR Therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for processing trauma and achieving lasting relief.

    The secure online environment allows for a safe and focused therapeutic space.

  • You will need a reliable internet connection, a device with a larger screen (computer or tablet), working camera, microphone, and a private, comfortable space where you won't be interrupted during your session.

    We utilize a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for all sessions (Google Meet).

  • On average it takes up to 6 sessions to process a single trauma memory, but the duration of EMDR Therapy varies for each individual, depending on the complexity of the trauma, the number of traumas to address, and your personal healing goals.

    Some clients experience significant relief in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We will discuss a personalized treatment plan during your consultation call.

  • Yes, when physical causes for vaginismus (tightening of vaginal muscles causing pain with insertion) such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, skin irritation/scar tissue, nerve sensitivity, and urinary tract infections have been ruled out, EMDR can be highly effective in relieving physical pain that has a psychological or traumatic component attached to it.

    By healing the underlying emotional distress, EMDR helps your nervous system regulate, which can lead to a significant reduction in pain and tension associated with conditions like vaginismus and dyspareunia (pain with sex).

  • In your first session, you’ll discuss your current concerns and goals. I (Jasmine) will help you understand the therapy process, create a treatment plan with you, and begin Phase One of EMDR Therapy!

  • While talk therapy is valuable, EMDR specifically targets distressing memories and helps the brain reprocess them.

    Unlike some talk therapies that primarily focus on discussing the trauma, EMDR will help you come to a different understanding about your experiences that will leave you feeling empowered and at peace.

  • To prepare, ensure you have a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable and won't be disturbed.

    Test your internet connection and device camera/microphone, and make sure to have water, headphones, and a comfort item nearby (pet, photo, stress ball, etc.)

    We will discuss the process thoroughly to ensure you feel prepared and at ease.

  • Therapy is right for you if you are looking for something in your life to change, and having trouble changing it on your own.

    EMDR is right for you if you haven't found talk therapy to be helpful in giving you relief, or if you're having difficulty feeling safe, worthy, or connected in the world due to your past or current experiences.

  • Ready For Healing uses secure, encrypted platforms and strictly adheres to all HIPAA regulations and ethical guidelines for virtual therapy.

    If you express any active threats of harm to yourself or others, or if it is suspected that child or vulnerable adult is being abused or neglected, therapists are required to report this information to necessary third parties in order to keep you and others safe.

    We will discuss specific privacy measures and best practices during your initial consultation to ensure you feel completely safe and secure in your virtual sessions.

  • Making an appointment is easy! Simply contact us through our website, email, or phone, and we will assist you in scheduling a consultation call.
